Nicholas Joyce Biography

The Crows delist veteran small forward Ian Callinan and youngster Nick Joyce.

"I'd like to congratulate Ian, who refused to give up on his AFL dream and thoroughly deserved his chance to play at the highest level, even if it did come much later than he had hoped," Adelaide list development manager David Noble said.

Nick Joyce is a Crow again after Adelaide used pick No. 10 in the NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft to reclaim the midfielder it was forced to delist at the height of the Kurt Tippett saga.

Adelaide delists Nick Joyce due to the Kurt Tippett saga to make room for the required three picks at the upcoming national draft.

Adelaide list manager David Noble said the club intended to re-draft Joyce but, given it could be stripped of early picks by the AFL Commission at Monday's hearing into the Tippett affair, there is a risk the teenager could be snapped up by another team.

"The club is working closely with Nick's management and discussing the variety of options, with Nick's welfare being of the highest importance," Noble said.
